| Deer grass is one of the most attractive
bunch grasses I know of, and is certainly the most spectacular of the California native
grasses. Deer grass is a summer growing grass with a dense tuft of medium green leaves to
about 2 ft. In the late summer, narrow spikes densely crowded with florets rise out of the
foliage to a height of 4 ft in happy plants.
The spikes radiate straight out from the crown in sun-grown plants, but will arch over softly on plants grown in part shade. The effect is dramatic and beautiful, and the spikes move wonderfully in the wind. The spikes dry and remain attractive all winter, along with the browning foliage. Groups of plants look especially nice. Deer grass needs some summer water but the large root system can extract it from a large volume of soil. Occasional deep watering in summer is desirable in hot climates. Catalog description by Gary Matson |
